Value Brand 304 Stainless Steel Hex Reducing Bushing 1/2 in x 3/8 in

SKU CH-RG21-DRDAB

304 stainless steel hex reducing bushing connects 1/2 in Male NPT to 3/8 in Female NPT, rated 3000 psi at 100°F and 2500 psi steam at 350°F

  • 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in harsh environments
  • Hexagonal profile enables secure wrench tightening for leak-resistant joints
  • Male NPT 1/2" to Female NPT 3/8" connects different pipe sizes
  • Rated 3000 psi at 100°F and 2500 psi steam at 350°F
  • Threads meet ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 and ASME B16.11 forged-fitting standards

Reducing Bushing 1/2 in x 3/8 in

The Value Brand hex reducing bushing connects a 1/2 inch male NPT thread to a 3/8 inch female NPT thread. It is made from 304 stainless steel and rated to Class 3000 pressure for piping systems.

Installation and Common Issues

The hexagonal outer profile allows wrench tightening to create secure, leak-resistant joints. No pre-applied thread sealant is included, so installer must apply appropriate sealant to the NPT threads.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The fitting withstands 3000 psi at 100°F and 2500 psi steam at 350°F for continuous service. Material conforms to ASTM-A-182 and ASME B16.11 standards for forged fittings under prolonged pressure.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 304 stainless steel hex reducing bushing is sealing properly after installation?

Pressurise the system up to 3000 psi at 100 °F or 2500 psi steam at 350 °F and check for leaks at the Male NPT 1/2 in to Female NPT 3/8 in joint; the hexagonal profile allows wrench tightening to the torque recommended by ASME B16.11 for Class 3000 forged fittings.

What comes with the ZORO SELECT 1RRP8 fitting and what must I supply?

The box contains only the 304 stainless steel hex reducing bushing; no thread sealant or additional seals are included, so you must provide PTFE tape or pipe compound compatible with NPT threads per ANSI/ASME B1.20.1.

Which pressure class and material grade should I select for a 3000 psi hydraulic line at 100 °F?

Choose the Class 3000 rating with 304 stainless steel construction, which meets ASTM A182 and ASME B16.11 for forged fittings and is rated for 3000 psi at 100 °F and 2500 psi steam at 350 °F.
